Description
Dear Guest,
We are a just maried couple.
Amelie is a good living person. She is always smiling, having fun and a lot of ideas for doing, cooking, making activities... full of energy.
Maxime is a delightful person, always trying to entertain people and tell some jokes (we both have the same humour).
We are both very curious, and decided to left France for 6 months to discover other cultures, landscapes, ways of life, focussing on Norway, Finland, Russia, Lituania, Estonia and Latvia.
We are looking forward to meeting you very soon and share our knowledge and stories :-)

More details about your skills
we both like handwork (gardening, do-it-yourself, home renovation, furniture restauration, cooking, doing pastries). In fact Maxime owns an old house, that we are renovating. Our house has a small garden where we are trying to grow veggies. Unfortunately, it is somewhat hard to harvest the veggies because Paulette and Mazette our 2 hens are sometimes faster than us and eat the veggies and fruits.
Amélie also loves farming, especially with animals. She grew up on a farm with dairy cows, hens, rabbits, ducks and cats and dogs.
We are both fluent in English, Maxime speaks Spanish very well too and undeerstands a few words of German; Amélie speaks German, and understands a few words of Spanish.

What else ...
our common hobby is hiking in the mountains and more generally to enjoy nature, and meet people who share this passion. Maxime is a great fan of board games, especially strategic games, whereas Amélie prefers funny games without strategy.
Maxime likes to run, and Amélie likes to cycle and play badminton.
